No-till is definitely the way to go … our farm is mostly no-till (potatoes and carrots excepted). Once we prep our beds we add a couple of inches of compost on top of the soil which nearly eliminates seeds from sprouting. For long term crops like tomatoes or peppers we use landscape fabric and drill holes for the plants when planting.

Those are great methods! I'll be writing about several different no-till methods in some forthcoming posts. Keep up the good work!
Lambsquarters are also a tasty, edible "weed"
Yes, they are! I love eating them!
